So beautiful! Thanks for the pictures!

Marhkimov · 01-21-06, 08:53 PM

OMG!

I have enough trouble trying to get into formation with cars. How do they do it with airplanes???

Camaero · 01-21-06, 10:57 PM

They need to fly some two seaters and give out rides! I would give em my paycheck for a year!

Lots and lots of practice. IIRC, at SUPT(USAF) you get 45 hours of basic formation flying from the T-37's. By the time you get to T-38's, they get you flying advanced formations, tactical, fluid form, etc(another 50-60 hours). And you get more of the same at IFF. Then you get alot more of the same at the RTU. By the time you get to the RTU, you start to get real good at it. And you've got maybe about 350 hours by this time.

Fantastic...

The Blue Angels will perform on the next Open Day of the Royal Neth. Air Force at Leewarden Air Base!

Thanks! Great pics!

Gorgeous stuff. I think it's time to pull out a LOMAC movie.

Marhkimov · 01-22-06, 04:48 PM

Found these pics on the official LOMAC forums.

Here's some more Blue Angel LOMAC high-res screenies:

WOW!

I also found some awesome movies that were done in LOMAC. These pilots are freakishly good. Holy $&%@!!!!!

Konovalov · 01-22-06, 06:28 PM

Yep, they are the ones Marhkimov. Quite amazing isn't it what can be done in a simulation these days? I'm sure the games companies love these type of guys also because it really is free advertising.

Marhkimov · 01-22-06, 06:34 PM

Yeah, these guys were so good, that I felt like advertising them for free. I wonder if I helped to sell any copies of Lock On? :hmm:

You can easily find Lock On at Walmart or Circuit City for $20. There's also a Gold Edition out, which includes the Flaming Cliffs Expansion Pack. The Black Sharks expansion comes out in a few months, and it will include one of those dual-bladed Russian attack choppers (Ka-60???).

LOMAC is awesome!

Konovalov · 01-22-06, 06:45 PM

I bought LOMAC when it first came out but it ran like rubbish on my system. I have just recently bought the addon Flamming Cliffs. There will be a further addon titled Black Shark as you mentioned which will allow you to fly the Ka-50. A few of the best sites for Lomac are:

I think that this is a great game despite the criticisms levelled at it such as it is no Falcon 4. I wanted to fly Soviet aircraft and this simulation delivered. In the case of the Su-25T aircraft (which is the bulk of the Flamming Cliffs addon), te modeling is on par with the F16 in Falcon 4 or close to.

In the real pics posted, what is the point of flying with their landing gear down?

Scion · 01-23-06, 02:28 AM

Wanting to have increased drag perhaps? Perhaps a manouver finishing with a landing?
